The world record high score in Donkey Kong, arguably the most coveted mark in competitive video gaming, appears to have been broken yet again. On Friday, Robbie Lakeman surpassed his own record, set a little more than a month ago, and is awaiting verification from Twin Galaxies, the ultimate arbiter of such feats. Both marks stretch the boundaries of what was has been theorized to be perfection in Donkey Kong. In 2016, Wes Copeland cracked the 1.2 million barrier, considering that the last front

Donnie Yen, the martial artist and actor cast for the lead role in an adaptation of 2013’s Sleeping Dogs, wants everyone to know the project is still going.

A former driver at the top levels of stock car and open-wheel motorsports has been suspended by iRacing, the ultra-realistic racing series for PC, over an incident where he tried to intentionally wreck another driver. Scott Speed, who in 2006 was the first American driver to compete in Formula One in 13 years, confirmed to The Drive that iRacing had suspended his account.

Many VRChat players took on the form of a 3D Ugandan Knuckles avatar and ran around, pestering other players. It’s a post-Pepe world, and these are questions we need to ask.”Is Ugandan Knuckles the new Pepe? There are big differences between Pepe the Frog and Ugandan Knuckles. Despite those rallying cries, the Ugandan Knuckles meme isn’t dying. Ugandan Knuckles will continue to rise in popularity until its creator, Gregzilla, essentially has to disown it and potentially kill it.

The link between hip-hop and Dragon Ball Z has existed almost as long as Dragon Ball Z has. Kotaku ran a great story about the love many black men have for Dragon Ball Z, which helps to explain how lyrics inspired by the show became so common and land with such weight. To reference Dragon Ball Z is to reference a piece of shared history, while also hinting at a set of shared dreams and values. If we accept that Dragon Ball Z is a show whose characters are aspirational figures, these lyrics have

If you don’t follow CEO Kaz Hirai on Twitter, you should. Even the actual Kaz Hirai is a fan of the Twitter account; he referenced it in his Consumer Electronics Show keynote in 2016. We’re lucky to still have the parody version of the longtime Sony CEO as we trudge ahead into a post-Hirai haze. “While I still spend plenty of time playing video games, I spend a lot less time following video game news,” Fake Kaz Hirai wrote. Fake Kaz promises that he’ll stick around to commentate this year’s E3 c

Going through the replay in an early match of EA Sports UFC 3, I caught a look I’d never seen before in a sports video game: hate. Inside the octagon, regardless of mode, UFC 3 enforces its uncompromising, hard-hitting action and a genuine struggle when the combatants close in or go to the ground. In UFC 2, EA Vancouver tried to simplify moves within the clinch — the state where two standing fighters lock up — and ground wrestling. Women fighters have been in EA Sports UFC from the first game in
